Musicians bring outdoor cheer to care home
WINDSOR: A care home says it was ‘thrilled’ after residents enjoyed a live music concert last week.
Mountbatten Grange, in Helston Lane, was the stage for Cookham-based musician Rob Castell and his band, who are touring a number of care homes in the Royal Borough.
Concerts for Care Homes launched to give people in care a musical lift as the country battles the effects
of a second national lockdown and beyond.
The initiative was launched by Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, in Altwood Road, Maidenhead.
Rob, with Jason Tebble on bass and Luke Harris on drums, played a selection of tunes on Thursday, including some fitting for the festive season.
Concerts for Care Homes has been funded by the Arts Council, and Norden Farm
was assisted in launching the project by ward councillors.
Debbie Winwood, home manager at Mountbatten Grange, said: “We are thrilled to have had a special visit. Everyone loved hearing the live music and singing along to our favourite Christmas tunes.
“Music plays a big part in life here at Mountbatten Grange... It has been a great way to kick-start our festive season.”
